People often asked me what supplement is good for gaining lean muscle mass and losing weight without losing muscle... My answer, BCAA!
BCAA (branched chain amino acids) is an anti-catabolic agent that shifts your body from catabolic (burn muscles) to anabolic (build muscles) state!
Leucine, BCAA is the key amino that responsible for stimulating protein synthesis, Leucine combine with the other 2 aminos iso-leucine and valine will deliver the full benefit of anabolism.
But hey, Whey protein already has BCAA, why still need BCAA?
Whey protein even the fastest digesting one will still take several hours for amino acids to be liberated and absorbed!
BCAA supplements are free form aminos and require no digestion, it rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream. Therefore, athlete that is taking BCAA can immediately feel the difference of performance endurance and better post-training recovery! Nutrition X Malaysia
